The best fields of drag racers
assembled in 2001 all became fans again as Big Daddy Don Garlits and
Shirley Muldowney qualified for the Top Fuel field with dramatic
performances. Add Chris Karamesines to the mix, and these veterans definitely
added star power and magic to Indy 2001. Thanks to Dave Kommel of
Auto Imagery for these unbelievable shots. Check out his website
